As of: October 2026 (updated regularly)
Órzola is situated on the northern tip of Lanzarote, and almost all of Órzola’s best restaurants are within earshot of the fishing harbour. Seven establishments serve the small village in the municipality of Haría. Restaurante La Maresia, at C. la Quemadita 18, tops the list with 4.6 stars from 1,940 reviews. What ends up on the plate is determined by the Atlantic off the coast. Vieja, sama and grouper are all caught locally. There’s no gourmet cuisine here, but the fish were still swimming in the water that very morning.
Fresh fish straight from the harbour in Lanzarote
Between 2 pm and 4 pm, Órzola is in full swing, with the terraces filling up with locals. A ‚menú del día‘ usually costs between 12 and 14 euros and includes three courses plus a drink. Grilled catch of the day, lapas with mojo and papas arrugadas are all part of the deal. The ferry service to La Graciosa sets the pace of life here, so having a meal before or after the crossing is the least hectic option. Make sure you have cash in your wallet, as not every establishment reliably accepts card payments.
